Persistent rain that started about 4 p.m. Saturday forced postponement for the second time this season of the Diamond Racing Products Joy Fair Memorial 100 at Flat Rock Speedway.

More than 35 late models were entered and ready to compete for spots in the 100-lap event, which was to be part of the ARCA Glass City Gold Cup Series.

Track officials did not announce a makeup date for the Joy Fair Memorial, which was first postponed on June 22.

Several Macomb County drivers planned to participate in the race on Flat Rockís quarter-mile paved oval.

Terry Bogusz of Shelby Township, who is running a partial schedule in the No. 550 car, and Jim Alvis of Chesterfield Township, who is sixth in points in the No. 64, were among the drivers hoping to race.

So was Derrick Sheppard of Mount Clemens, who is 10th in points.

Billy Leslie, son of former Mount Clemens Race Track champion Tracy Leslie, also was entered.

Fair is Flat Rockís all-time leader in race victories with 159.

He won 10 track championships.

Dennis Strickland of Carleton is the current late models points leader.

Frank Jiovani, a native of Harrison Township, is fifth in points.

Flat Rock will host the Triple 60s next Saturday. That program is comprised of 60-lap features for street stocks, figure 8s and late models.
